Welcome to our corner of the web Jagan, nice to have the Indian warbirds expert with us..

I realise the TOI newspiece is quite old now, but after the Indian government got rid of their Libbies, i thought that was it. There isn't a certain Indian Airforce technical school/maintenance unit, that still has components in it is there?
If you go through the forum, there are one or 2 pieces , that you may be able to fill us in on. Namely the hurricane that was recovered from the Indian university, and, is their any further news, of the Hurricane at the teashop? Or indeed, any other rumours in India? Of course, we all wonder what happened to the halibags, and was a Tempest really buried by Doug Arnold, how many Spitfires do the IAF really have in store, and well, just all the news and rumours really :0)

Best regards

Tony
